Letter From Your Editor Dear Key Club Members, I am so excited for the Leadership Training Conference. This will be my third year attending! When I first went in freshmen year, I barely knew anyone but after LTC, I knew the board better and this helped encourage me to run for a position. Look where I am now! LTC has greatly affected me. Seriously, you meet so many people and get so much experience. Forget about the price, it’s definitely worth it! CONGRATULATIONS to the new executive board of 2012-2013. I look forward to working with each and every one of the newly elected. Thanks to all the key club members who voted and came to the elections! This will be the last newsletter I will create and publish. Tear, tear, I know you will all miss me! But don’t worry, your 2012-2013 bulletin editor Sharon Cai will be amazing as well. Do me all a wonderful favor and send her articles and images in the future! If you have any questions feel free to email me at holy@thetechkey.com. - Holy Cheong Key Club Bulletin Editor 2011-2012

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOUR EXECUTIVE BOARD OF 2012-2013! President Holy Cheong
Vice President Han-Chang Kim
Hello! I am currently a junior and in the architecture major. In my free time I play the guitar, violin, and sing. I enjoy playing sports and reading. I am Malaysian and I love to eat fruits. I look forward to working with everyone and getting to know all the members!
Secretary Tiffany Leung
Hello guys, I’m Han-Chang, a.k.a HC. I am currently a junior in Bio-Medical Engineering major. I am an easily approachable person even though I look a bit stoic, adamant, and stubborn. My goal as VP is to build a strong bond with the members and become a Key Club family. I like fencing, violin, and dancing; if you like these activities, then you know who to talk to!
Hello! I am currently a junior and I am in the Biological Sciences Major. I like to sing, listen to music, and hang out with my friends. I believe that if you do your best and work hard to achieve your goals, you will be able to do so.

Treasurer Alexander Mok
I am in the 10th Grade and I am in Gateway to Medicine Major. I work hard in my studies so I can be successful and rich in life whether will become a doctor or not. If I'm not playing a game, I'm probably at the park eating or hanging out with friends!
Bulletin Editor Sharon Cai
My name is Sharon Cai. I am currently a sophomore. I like to read and I am on the girls' bowling team.
Webmaster Tina Gao Hi guys! This is Tina a.k.a. Tuna fish. Currently, I’m a freshman. To start off, I am from Flushing but originally from Brooklyn. I am the typical K-Pop fan-girl *squeals* and the most obsessed drama guru you will ever meet (I have watched over 90 Asian dramas). In my spare time, I am on my computer catching up with friends or eating. I am creative, loud, and artistic. I am excited to serve Key Club so cheers to a great year!

DISTRICT NEWS Hey New York District Key Clubs! It's time to start the countdown to the 64th Annual Leadership Training Conference! This year, LTC will occur on March 30th to April 1st and we're expecting record numbers of Key Clubbers. Join in on a weekend full of workshops, elections, dances, a talent show, and tons of opportunities to socialize with Key Club members from all over the state. Be there to usher in a new service year, as well as run for higher office or share a vote in determining the new District Board. LTC is an unforgettable chance to learn, have fun, and most importantly, celebrate the values of service that we all aspire to!
INTERNATIONAL NEWS International convention Every summer Key Club International celebrates a year of service at the international convention. Over 2,000 students and advisors gather together to introduce new programs, present awards to outstanding clubs, conduct the organization's business, attend educational workshops and elect international officers for the upcoming year. The 69th Annual Key Club International Convention will take place in Orlando, Florida July 4-8, 2012. Every club should send at least two delegates and advisors, although many clubs send all their officers and other key members. Make plans now to attend!

MARCH
64th Annual Leadership Training Conference
The event many of us have been waiting for is a month away! The 64th Annual Leadership Training Conference will be held from March 30—April 1st. It is a time of bonding and learning. A time where key clubbers from all of New York come together and praise each other’s accomplishments. It is also a time where leaders are born. Aside from the serious business, it is also a time for fun and PARTIES! WOOHOO! Note: Pictures below are all from last year.

Caring — our way of life
KEY Clubber of FEBRUARY What does it mean to be “Key Clubber of the Month”? We give out this award each month to a particular key club member who has made the most impact on our club for that month. In order to get this award you have to attend events, and participate. We want to see someone who is actively helping and contributing to their community. But we also want to see someone who is representing Brooklyn Tech, and most importantly, key club. This member should be the role model for other members.
THIS COULD BE YOU!
